SCP-586-JP-3 shortly after the breakage during testing (SCP-586-JP-A-3 is in the dead angle). Note that internal liquid was vaporized.

Item#: SCP-586-JP

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-586-JP are to be stored in Low-Risk Object Storage Units at Storage Site-8123. Inactivated SCP-586-JP-A instances are to be stored in Cryogenic Storage Units at said Site. On testing of SCP-586-JP, the priority is given to the establishment of communication with SCP-586-JP-A instances. Testing involving the breakage or physical impact against SCP-586-JP requires the approval of 2 Security Clearance Level-3 or above personnel. In case an incident possible related to new SCP-558-JP instances is reported to the law enforcement, investigation is to be handed over to Foundation agents.

Description: SCP-586-JP is a small snow globe. Currently 6 instances of SCP-586-JP are in Foundation custody, designated SCP-586-JP-1 to -6. Inside of SCP-586-JP has been filled by transparent liquid, which is presumed to be an unknown component. Said liquid is assumed to serve as a method to maintain the active state of SCP-586-JP-A instance; studies have been stagnant as the liquid is immediately vaporized upon the breakage of SCP-586-JP's glass. While the interior decoration of SCP-586-JP are vary, an instance of SCP-586-JP-A is present in common.

SCP-586-JP-A instances are small humanoid entities that have appearance of 4 to 12-years-old children wearing winter clothes. All SCP-586-JP-A instances are sapient, and capable of autonomous movement. SCP-586-JP-A instances require no feeding, and recover its external injures at anomalously rapid rate. If SCP-586-JP is shaken or applied with external impact, SCP-586-JP-A is similarly affected, and may be crashed into decorations or glass dome in case the impact is violent. While SCP-586-JP-A displays extreme distress upon the crash, it does not be externally damaged due to above-mentioned rapid recovery.

SCP-586-JP-A is incapable of perceive the external environment of SCP-586-JP, and all communications from outside have been unsuccessful to date. Breakage attempt of glass to remove SCP-586-JP-A caused the vaporization of internal liquid and the inactivation of SCP-586-JP-A. Autopsy of removed SCP-586-JP-A has shown that it has an identical internal body structures to non-anomalous human.

All instances of SCP-586-JP-A have had identical appearance to specific children who mysteriously disappeared in various countries. Currently, identities of all instances have been confirmed.

The following is summary of SCP-586-JP instances and corresponding SCP-586-JP-A instances.

Discovery Log: SCP-586-JP-1 to -3 were recovered on 201█/01/08, when Foundation agents intercepted a civilian report about "living people in snow globes" which was found in Mt. ████████, Hokkaido. Said civilian was administered amnesiac after the interview. On 04/06 in the same year, the existence of "miniature corpse in a snow globe" was reported from [REDACTED] forest of Chiba Prefecture, and SCP-586-JP-4 was recovered. Following these incidents, SCP-586-JP-5 was recovered from [REDACTED] of Kumamoto Prefecture on 07/10, and SCP-586-JP-6 was recovered from Mt. ███████ of Yamagata Prefecture on 10/24.

All instances of SCP-586-JP were initially contained in a cardboard box with an attached B5-Size copy paper, written as "Waste; Past the Seell-By Date" [sic] by permanent marker. In this light, it has believed that SCP-586-JP instances were made and disposed by unknown individual. Investigation and search about said individual by Foundation are ongoing.
